I would be more concerned about the splinter site and making sure it is not showing worse signs. Also keep a look for the cloaca and vent area to make sure it does not get swollen or otherwise inflamed
The baytrill was just a booster from his last injection,a medication I cannot spell for the life of me but started with an A.I caught the initial infection very early and the first shot did wonders,from what he told me the baytrill was for good measure as most of it had cleared but not all.His wound from the splinter healed up.

There's no sign of prolapse,but he does go hard in the pit when shedding so I wouldn't be surprised if he scratched himself too hard.He does have a tendency to get dehydrated though,I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it was from constipation either since he does take awhile to poop normally.
